[Fsuk-manchester] federated social web - diaspora and friendika testing

[m3shrom]

Hi there,

I'm staying with r7 at the moment here - http://elsmussols.org - which
is great - kind of an ongoing hacktionlab, field, solar 24v set up with
no tat down envisaged.

He's using friendika and getting on well with it. So I'm going to give
it a go. I reckon some of you people should as well as then we could
share thoughts on what bits we like and find useful and things that just
don't really work (useful for the 'tech tools for activism' next edition)

this is an open to sign up service..

I'm also trying out diaspora here https://nesc.io/people/583

In theory sharing and friend requests etc work between the two systems
and different pods- and I've had luck in doing this although some things
are easier to do than others.

One think that I'm finding it difficult to do is to send people private
messages between diaspora pods. anyone had any luck with that?

Also - because I'm lazy - what I really want to do is push my status.net
and wordpress stuff to friendika / diaspora - I don't even know if
that's possible. i'm here on that http://indy.im/m3shrom

nice one
